Line 53:
* "NPCs/NPC Wojak."
** ''Explanation'': A term originally from 4chan and some gaming circles in social media commenting on how certain people in real life function like walking [[Non-Player Character]]<nowiki/>s without any "inner voice" or self-reflection (among other criteria). Since then, it's gained traction on the KotakuInAction subreddit and elsewhere as it perfectly describes not only how SJWs, "regressives" and authoritarian activists behave. But also some elements of the media at large (especially on rehashing and doubling down on the same narratives), with outlets like CNN and the ''New York Times'' rebuking it as dehumanizing.
* "Reset the clock."
** Explanation: [http://archive.is/dsxz4 Originating from the KotakuInAction subreddit] in part as a nod to the old "X days since accident" joke, it refers to how much time seem<nowiki/>s to pass between male<nowiki/> feminist "allies" (particularly those professing to be anti-GG) being exposed as ''exactly'' the kind of people they claim pro-GGers are.
